Pax Christi USA is a Campaign Nonviolence endorsingorganization. We support its statement on the killing of Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, MO:

Another victim of violence, another unarmed young Black man executed because of the color of his skin, another family torn apart by grief, another town dealing with fear, rage and chaos…when is enough, enough?

The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO stands as a stark reminder of the reckless disregard of human rights in our country by profiling groups of its citizens, and the serious lack of interracial justice in the U.S.

Pax Christi USA calls for prayers for Michael’s family and friends, a non-violent resolution and accountability for the execution of this young man and a reconciliation with justice for the community torn apart by this senseless act.

We invite you to lend your support to the members of the Ferguson, MO community:
